This afternoon I settled down with a cup of iced chai and a cherry pie cupcake to write a letter to local businesses I hope to work with. It was the perfect setting for inspiration, especially with my Jim Brickman Pandora station playing in the background and a cool breeze streaming through the windows.

Marketing myself can be intimidating; the perfect setting helps motivate me. What I aimed for with this letter was a piece of myself on the paper. It needed to combine the boldness I feel and the sweetness I manage my clients with. Hopefully I succeeded.

My cleaning projects are already finished for the day, and my small flower garden has been watered. In a few minutes my husband will get up so we can have a date night before he heads to work. I think the plan is Despicable Me 2 and dinner. I hope he wakes up soon....

I love words, cooking, hiking, my amazing husband (Josh), and my beautiful daughter (Noelle). Freelancing gives me the rare privilege of being a homemaker and a career woman at the same time; I love it!
